They could just buy a used car. You can easily find a 30 mpg car for less than $8k. Do the commute in that and save the truck for the weekends.
Mind you, I'm not opposed to truck mpg mods. I'm dropping a manual transmission and injected 4.9l into my '79 F250. It's cheap and should improve mpg and emissions a lot. But it'll still only run when the Civic can't cut it.
